Positioning Controls and List Columns in Non-Grid Layouts

For applets based on non-grid layout Web templates, such as list applets, the locations available for controls are determined by predefined placeholders in the Web template. For these applets, you position controls by dragging and dropping them onto empty placeholders displayed in the layout canvas.

To position controls on an applet layout that is not grid-based

1. Navigate to the applet you want to edit, right-click, and then choose Edit Web Layout.
2. In the Mode field of Web Controls toolbar, choose the applet mode that you want to edit.
3. From the Controls/Columns Window, drag and drop the controls or list columns to any empty placeholders displayed in the layout canvas.

   Applet headers and footers are designed for button controls. Avoid mapping non-button controls, such as fields, to applet headers and footers.
